Filipino boxing hero and Manila’s most favorite adopted son Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao (2nd from left) formally endorses his “second father” Lito Atienza’s (2nd from right) comeback to regain genuine progress, under the successful Buhayin ang Maynila urban renewal and sustainable development program, for the capital city and its residents who were neglected by the present Lim administration during a grand gathering of almost 2,000 past and present Barangay Chairmen (lower photo) at the Manila Pavillon. According to Pacquiao, Atienza remains to be the best Mayor Manila ever had for the effective and efficient delivery of basic services for Manilans, especially the poor and other marginalized sectors, during his record-breaking undefeated three consecutive terms (1998-2007) as father of the capital city. With Atienza and Pacquiao in photo is Manila Vice Mayoralty candidate, Councilor Bonjay Isip-Garcia (left), and former President and Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP) standard-bearer, Joseph “Erap” Estrada (right), who earlier also endorsed Atienza for Manila Mayor anew.
